Don’t play scared might have been the message from Coach as Furman invades the Swamp! Our Lady πŸ‘© Cavalier drew another starting assignment…

Furman University took the floor and started shooting and playing in your grill defense against the Gators. They lead 6-4 and were still tied at 14 – 14 at the end of the 1st quarter !

Alyssa Ervin had four points and three rebounds before the first Media TO and that was with a made 3-pointer waved off after an offensive foul by a fellow Paladin.

At the break, Furman University is sill within fighting πŸ’ͺ distance at 40 – 35, surviving a big Gator run to start the second quarter.

16 points and 4 rebounds late in the 3rd and still chasing !!!

More to follow in a bit….

SEC Network is πŸ“ΊπŸ“ΊπŸ“Ί the place to watch…

33 minutes, 18 points, 50% shooting and 5 rebounds !!!

At some point during our flight ✈️ to El Paso, something special will take place on our Site….100k/ 1/4 Million over the two years !!!!!

Here inside of the hour , someone will click on a story that is designed to make someone smile πŸ˜ƒ and will push two numbers across thresholds of significance, at least to me.

100,000 for the calendar year and a quarter of a Million over a two year span !!!!

  The idea πŸ’‘ of creating a safe zone where we can tell positive stories about our friends and neighbors in a non- Social Media forum……

Thank You to EVERYONE who helps me create the content because we couldn’t do it without you ❀.

Time to board the flight ✈️ and I will finish up the Varsity gamer on the other end once we have landed. πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

This year. Before take off !!!
10 : 18 Mountain β›° Time
!!!!!!!!!!!

Slightly down from last year but still in six digits with 3+ days to go.

It’s time for the Sunday Morning πŸŒ„ Brew on a Day that is set to include Flights ✈️, a trio of Basketball πŸ€ games and writing ✍ a Gamer for Anthony Barnes and our Cavaliers…

Morning πŸŒ„ Brew
School 🏫 Calender is Blank
Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day:

2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

The four shades 😎 of Basketball πŸ€ today will be a nice mix of writing, watching πŸ‘€ on line( Furman Women) watching in person ( New Mexico State Men ) and keeping up with from a distance ( Duke Women).

Yesterday at Fort Chiswell, the Junior Varsity Cavaliers edged Narrows during the afternoon and the Varsity team fell 69-65 in the eighth game of the day. I have all of my notes πŸ“ from the day and later they will get wrapped around the thoughts of Head Coach Anthony Barnes.

For the third time this season, Alyssa Ervin and Furman University (6-6) is set to play a road game inside a SEC Gymnasium as the Paladins travel down to Gainesville to take on the Florida Gators. Depending upon your time zone, tip is set for 2pm Eastern and available to watch on the SEC Network.

At 7:30 am, we begin the trek over to El Paso, Texas in preparation for the Duke University Bowl πŸ₯£ game on New Years Eve against Arizona State University.

This is relevant to the day in that the game story for Carroll County will get written across the two flights ✈️ over this morning.

Kira Lawson and Duke University Women’s Basketball πŸ€ team is set to play todsy against an 11-1 Syracuse team up in the Dome. Duke, like Furman, sits at 6-6 and looks to get above .500 on the season but will face an uphill battle

The in-person Basketball πŸ€ comes in the form of the Men’s team at New Mexico State at 3pm Mountain β›° time. In years past when Duke made it to a Bowl πŸ₯£ game it was a quick get there and get back type of trip.

This year, with the challenges that Medication presents, it will be a five day/ four night loop. That is how Lacruses, New Mexico enters the mix.

Let’s take just a minute to say πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ to the University of Virginia (11-3) for winning their 11th football game and a season for the first time in the schools history last night in Jacksonville !!!
